Interstates and highways can be particularly dangerous roads as they tend to be busy and have thousands of vehicles traveling back and forth on them each day. While we urge everyone to drive safely at all times, this is especially true when on highways. Accidents that happen on these roads can be particularly devastating because of the high speeds involved.
On May 23., the Massachusetts Police received a report of a two-vehicle accident on Route 2 Eastbound east of Exit 30 in Leominster. The crash occurred around 6:40 a.m. and first responders were dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, emergency medical personnel administered care at the scene, and minor injuries were reported. The Massachusetts State Police began directing traffic around the scene while the cause of the accident was determined, but all lanes of the road were reopened within an hour.
